Is Marc Anthony abusive to Jennifer Lopez?

starcover-212
So the drumbeat of divorce just keeps on banging away for Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. Star magazine’s cover story this week is all about their impending divorce – and how J.Lo is running back to P.Diddy! According to Star’s sources, Marc Anthony has something of a nasty temper, and he’s verbally abusive to Jennifer. He says derogatory things about her post-pregnancy body, and Jennifer has had enough. There’s also pushing and shoving, and other women calling the house asking for him.

Screaming. Pushing and shoving. Throwing things. Jennifer Lopez’s marriage to Marc Anthony is exploding — and she’s run back to Diddy for help!

In the Jan. 26 issue of Star — on newsstands now! — we report that after months of fighting the couple’s fiery marital brawls have escalated to a whole new level. Sources close to the couple say that the twosome’s emotional war of words has now crossed the line and become physical.

“They love hard; they fight hard — and sometimes that has led to pushing and shoving,” reveals an insider close to Marc. “They throw things and scream and just go bananas. It’s been war in their house!” And while Jennifer is known to let loose on him, another source says Marc “can be really mean. He’s a macho guy with a horrible temper and can say awful things.”

What triggers these blowups? A number of things — from various women calling their home to speak with Marc to his comments about Jennifer’s “chubby” post-baby body. And it’s not all him, another source insists the physicality of their relationship is just Jen’s way of getting her husband to pay attention to her.

Could this be a strategically-placed story by Jennifer’s people to make Anthony look like the villain? Because all of the juicy gossip I’ve heard about their marriage is that Jennifer is tired of being a wife/mother, and wants to get back to her super-stardom. It does seem like all of Star’s “sources” are pro-Jennifer, doesn’t it?

But suspend disbelief for a moment. I wonder if there’s any truth to any of it. I could buy that Marc Anthony has a nasty temper, and that he’s very macho. To be fair, I bet Jennifer has a nasty temper too. But when it gets to the abuse – the verbal abuse, the pushing and shoving, you just don’t know whether to take it seriously. I truly hope that this is all just tabloid crap.

    she looks like she could kick the sh.. out of him quite frankly!

  2. Susan says:

    Could this just be a typical Star story – always wrong. I can’t believe that you guys here at this site actually quote Star like it was actually a true story. Come on guys get some better sources.

  3. Call Me Al says:

    I agree with Susan. We go to you to get the good stuff. Not to hear what crap magazines are saying.
    Like JLo has ever been anywhere near “pots and pans”.

  4. Kristen says:

    LMFAO –

    Are you kidding… what does he weigh? About 120 pounds…. Kick his ass J-Lo.

  5. Butch says:

    Marc doesn’t like her ‘chubby’? Bull shit! He loves that big butt.

  6. Tia says:

    She is running back to Diddy? He always loved her never that ugly woman Kim he was with.. ewwwwww she was sooo ugly !! Ben Affleck never wanted her really, he wanted a good girl like his wife. Her and Diddy should get back together and have pretty babies

  7. Enonymous says:

    Marc Anthony? macho? LOL you are kidding right. Come on J.LO don’t let this skinny midget push you around, the only thing you have to do is just sit on him and he would break in less then 5 seconds.

    He does look like he might have a nasty temper on him but come on, one punch and he is down and out.

    Man, what happened to J.LO, she has gone soft. Disappointing.

  8. sassyspank says:

    all she would have to do if he charged at her is turn around, and he’d bounce right off. don’t underestimate the power of POWERBOOTY

  9. dr.grrl says:

    do either of these two know where the kitchen is in their home?!

    maybe this is how jenny from the block keeps it real?!

  10. Codzilla says:

    dr.grrl: Lol!

    I have to agree that the thought of Marc Anthony behaving like some macho dickhead is hilarious, considering he’s the size of a spatula. They’re both laughable.

  11. Bea says:

    WOW I disagree Puffy & JLO pretty babies TIA Have you seen Puffy?? The only reason why his kids are “OK” looking is due to their Mom’s Genes. LOL Besides If “supposedly” she is disgusted by Marc Anthony & he beats he or WHATEVER, Why in the hell would she get back with the guy she was involved in a shoot out with DUH!!! Besides I believe all STAR News is CRAP.

  12. RReedy says:

    Neither would win prizes in the domestic area:too many marriages between them. These are two preening swans, only room for 1 in this nest.

  13. Shay says:

    Do you think that J.Lo would run to Puffy for help and we not hear about it from Puffy?

  14. kate says:

    i would have thought it was the other way round.

  15. Jenna says:

    I think they both have nasty tempers. I can see Marc trying to be the ‘macho’ man but failing miserably. He seems like he has something to prove when it comes to that marriage though I’m not sure what exactly. Maybe it’s his waif of a body or his sunken in face. Not sure what makes me think that.

    Besides, if he starts throwing pots and pans Jennifer has the smarts to knock him out. That movie “Enough” makes me believe she could put him in a headlock and beg for mercy.

  16. vdantev says:

    There’s more to abuse than punching someone out. You can hit harder with a word than a fist. He can domineer and control her as well as humiliate and intimidate her verbally. Marc appears to have successfully undermined her career, after all.

  17. mel says:

    She did that movie Enough, she should be able to defend herself…lol

  18. Blanche says:

    “He can domineer and control her as well as humiliate and intimidate her verbally.”

    Yeah, like Angie does to Brad.

  19. Judy says:

    Well the next time she starts dating a married man she should make sure he isnt an abuser before she marries him lol

  20. vdantev says:

    Blanche: “Yeah, like Angie does to Brad.”

    You’re psychotic.

  21. Baholicious says:

    @Codzilla: I could see it, you know about the Napoleonic Complex right? A lot of wee men overcompensating for their lack of height by ramping up the macho and behaving like little despots. They also tend to be better manipulators, head gamers and be more verbally abusive because of their (lack of)size. These types of little men like to tear a woman down psychologically through ridicule and by preying on her insecurities. Especially if she’s bigger/taller or more successful than he is.

  22. Ah, Dante -just when I thought you were going soft . . .

    Next time he get lippy, she should eat him. “GET IN MAH BELLY!”

  23. Dirty Martini says:

    I don’t think he’d make it to the 2nd round in a boxing ring with her. He’d be out for the count.

  24. Goddess711 says:

    He dogged around on his first wife, left her and their kids countless times – she’s must be laughing her ass off right now. Karma’s a bitch for skanks ‘n ho’s like these two. I’m lovin’ this and can’t wait for the bottom to drop out on these two and Brad Pitt’s mess!

  25. kiku says:

    He is so skeletic that his tongue is his only weapon: singing or hurting verbally women….

    I though that he is really capable to verbally hurt her.. but remember she will put him on the street… without money and fame….

  26. Ter says:

    I still think that it is a plant to get their faces and names in print. But if they both have tempers than they deserve each other. And please, run back to Diddy? Another control freak it there ever was one and we all know what lies beneath a control freak, debilitating insecurities, hence the need to redirect by wearing blinding bling, clown clothes and ride in laughably decked out cars. I believe overcompensation would be the operative word here.

  27. lway says:

    I think J-LO looks beautiful. Especially after having twins – she is back to her skinny-but-with-a-bum self.

    Marc – you’re a weener, J-Lo should slap the taste out of your mouth for being so damn arrogant.

  28. boomchakaboom says:

    Is he abusive toward her? Let’s hope so.

  29. Kristen says:

    Blanche –

    Your starting to sound a little obsessed….

  30. Codzilla says:

    baho: Exactly.

  31. Brittany says:

    marc anthony is scronny/skinny & narrow.. Jenn could murder him just like she did the guy n ENOUGH!!
    ii know jenny doesnt take any bullshit from this guy..
    this is just to the tabloids..

    and if it is true i would run back to dIDDY TOO

  32. Hara says:

    I never much liked JLo. I always thought she was opportunistic and self centered. Pity cause she’s so beautiful! As for Marc, I love his music but come on, how could you think that someone who would divorce his wife on day 1 and marry another on day 2 would ever be serious about marriage? To be honest, they have lasted longer than I thought they would.

  33. AQUARIUS says:

    I THINK IF ANYONE IN THE RELATIONSHIP IS ABUSIVE IT WOULD HAVE TO BE J- LO. SHE ACTS LIKE THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO WOULD THROW WHAT SHE HAS OR WHAT YOU DON’T HAVE IN YOUR FACE. IN FACT I THINK THAT WAS PART OF THE REASON WHY SHE COULDN’T DEAL WITH DIDDY, IS BECAUSE HE HAD MORE THAN HER AND SHE COULDN’T SAY THAT SHE WAS CARRIYING HIS ASS LIKE SHE CAN SAY TO MARC ANTHONY. IF SHE IS RUNNING BACK TO DIDDY IT’S PROBABLY CAUSE SHE TRYING HARD TO GET BACK ON TRACK WITH HER MUSIC, CAUSE YOU KNOW HER FIRST SINGLE “IF YOU HAD MY LOVE” WAS STOLEN FROM CHANTE’ MOORE BY DIDDY JUST FOR J- LO SO I THINK THAT MIGHT BE ALL THIS IS. SHE CAN’T REALLY SURVIVE WITHOUT THE SPOTLIGHT, BUT SHE CAN’T GET BACK IN WITHOUT DIDDY. AND YOU ALL KNOW THIS MAN.

  34. MEOSHA83 says:

    i agree with aquarius if she is running back to diddy it’s only to get back in the spotlight. and i also think that if her marriage is having problems it was bound to happen because she didn’t get into her relationship with marc in a good way she basically interfared in his marriage. in fact most of the men she was dating were in relationships when she started messing around with them so she has to know that it’s not right and at some point she will have to pay for it. j-lo you need to change, your a mother now and you have to start living your life and setting examples as a mother. you have a daughter and you know that you wouldn’t want your daughter to do the same things that you are, and that trait could be past on to your children so becarefull. and diddy and marc watch out for j- lo i don’t trust her.

  35. kgomotso says:

    no one ever deserves to be abused be it karma or not so stop tripping. When it comes to cash i dont thnk she is in such a crish to run back to diddy to beg nah stop hating yol no dat aint true. Jlo is tryn her bst 2 kip ds going and she doing a damn gud job oh and 4 yols info they divorcd her in her previous marriages so again stop tripn. She myt nt b da bst singer in da world bt shs a role model 2 many 4 making it ths far! Stop hating and rather support her. Bt if god b 4 her then aint nobody cn make it against her and dat goes 4 mark 2.

    If anyone is getting slapped around, it is Marc. No doubt that Ms. Lopez can kick his ass
